DAC38J84EVM: No DACs shown

Part Number: DAC38J84EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DAC38J84

Hi, Just firing up the DAC38J84 EVM with TSW14J57 and HSDC Pro. GUI window drop-down Select DAC has no entries. Switch to ADC there are lots of ADCs. So have I lost a file somewhere?Thanks for any help.

    Simon,

    This version of the TSW14J57 unfortunately does  support DAC's yet. You will need to exchange this with a TSW14J56EVM. Sorry for the misinformation. The next release of this board (Rev E) will support DAC's though.

    Regards,

    Jim

    I presume you meant  "unfortunately does NOT support DACs yet". So Mouser's web page  which quotes "Evaluates A69 JESD204B DAC and ADC performance", whatever the A69 qualification means, is incorrect as no DACs are supported. So the TI web page which includes the words "The TI TSW14J57 evaluation module (EVM) is a next-generation of pattern generator and data capture card used to evaluate the performance of the new TI JESD204B family of high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs)" is at this date untrue. So TI document SLWU092 pages which detail the pattern generator operation (with DACs) are untrue. So despite reaching PCB issue 'D', the device is not yet capable of providing 50% of its publically stated function. Well, thank you very much TI, for wasting my employer's money and my time.

    Simon,

    Send me a shipping address and phone contact and I will ship you a TSW14J56EVM today. You can then ship the other board back at no cost to you using our FedEx account number.

    Regards,
